Artist statement: "More than executing notes or rhythms or melody, a song or a piece of music to me is a field for being--for direct living, feeling, breathing, and expressing in the moment; for sinking deeply, or flying highly into self/Self; or just maintaining our balance--which may reveal a simple beauty or truth. And like life, one rides the waves of grace and the precarious--in this existence, the better we watch and listen, the easier and more potent our flight."

A work exploring the relationship of hand to rock or rocks as Siegel plays her electric guitar with rocks of many different shapes and sizes....employing them to create a situation of "not-knowing" and the presence and unpredictability of Nature, or the "precarious" playing "situation" to explore relationship to Nature/Body/Sound/Self/Music.
hand/rock is Sabrina Siegel's sixth solo album of improvised music.
